Democrats with by-lines blew the Border Patrol 'whipping' story

 Jim Treacher:

Last September, journalists and other Democrats claimed that U.S. Border Agents on horseback were whipping illegal Haitian immigrants in Texas. It was an enormous lie, but the journos didn’t care because they’re not in the business of telling us the truth. Their job is to help Democrats achieve their policy goals. That’s why the journos mostly ignored the border, which has been a huge disaster for the Biden administration, until they could use it to talk about their favorite subject: racism.

Thousands of brown people sweltering under a bridge: BORING
Black people being “whipped” by cowboys on horseback: CLICKBAIT

Whatever happened with that whole thing, anyway? Courtesy of Katie Pavlich at Townhall.com, the Department of Homeland Security has issued an update:

“The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) provides this update regarding the investigation of horse patrol activity in Del Rio, Texas on September 19, 2021. The activity under investigation, which was captured in photographs and video that circulated nationwide, occurred during the large gathering of Haitian and other migrants near the International Bridge… U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) initially referred the investigation to DHS’s Office of Inspector General (OIG). The OIG declined to investigate and referred the matter back to CBP’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR). OPR then immediately commenced investigative work, including its review of videos and photographs and the interview of witnesses, employees, and CBP leadership. OPR has followed customary process in its investigation of this matter.”


In other words: Nothing has been investigated. That’s because there’s nothing to investigate. It never happened. Here’s what did happen....
...

Biden slandered the Border Patrol agents in much the same way he slandered Rittenhouse by falsely accusing him of being a "white supremacist."   It is another example of him going off half-cocked and half-assed.  It is also why he has had so many screw-ups such as his Afghanistan withdrawal and on and on.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
